In 2013, two nine-gallon casks were filled with Buffalo Sweat and a handful of vanilla beans, and were stored in Tallgrass founder Jeff Gill’s office. A few weeks later, Jeff entered his office to find one of casks had exploded, spraying beer all over his office and leaving a hole in the ceiling above his desk shaped exactly like the cork bung used to seal the cask. Thankfully, the other cask did not explode. That night at an event in Wichita, Kansas, the beer was so well-received, it immediately got the call to become the brewery’s winter seasonal.

16 oz. can. Very dark black, thin white head. Aroma is luscious! Rich roasted malt, deep vanilla and sugar. Chocolate candy bar and vanilla bean right up front with a lactose sweetness that lingers after the sip. The body of the stout is pretty nice with a nice creamy feel.

Dark brown to black with some light brown edges. Mmm, this smells great! cocoa, vanilla, burnt oak, some brown sugar. Really nice creaminess, lots of cocoa, thin body but overall it’s a nice beer and from the can!

This brew pours a brownish-black color with a medium tan head that recedes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of chocolate malt, vanilla and mild coffee. Light-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, vanilla, cocoa and coffee. The finish is roasty with a vanilla coffee aftertaste. Decent overall.

Big fucken can @ home, thanks to GrandaddyKC for sending! Pours a deep brown appearance with a foamy brown head. The aroma has a fair amount of roast, some smoke, vanilla, and earth. Moderately sweet and fairly high bitterness. Some vanilla but not overwhelming. Finishes bitter and roasty. Ok.

16oz can via the Local Why the Hell Not BIF. Pours a mostly opaque black with quite a bit of fizzy, sudsy beige head. Nose is kinda cool, lots of malt, some toast, quite a bit of raisin, some licorice too.. The vanilla bean is there, but in a very raw sense. Flavor sort of follows, chewy grains, malt, toast, there’s a fig jam thing happening too, some vanilla, brown sugar too. Slightly heavier carbonation leads to a bit of a heavy finish.

(Thanks Peter "russellcrow") Can. A- Coffee, vanilla. A- Black color, black liquid, minimal head. T- Coffee, chocolate, vanilla, malty. P- Medium body, average texture, soft carbonation, smooth robust finish. O- A great sweet stout, that one ups the regular Buffalo Sweat. The addition of the vanilla beans is subtle yet noticeable and that makes all the difference. Very smooth and an easy drinking stout.

From notes, consumed on 5/16/13. Can poured into a nonic pint glass. Pours black with 4 fingers of fluffy tan head. Head fades quickly, good lacing. Aromas of caramel, coffee, vanilla, chocolate. Tasting notes of vanilla, caramel, milk chocolate, subtle roast, coffee. Creamy mouthfeel. Medium body with a syrupy, semi-dry finish.
